funny thing with the corpus regex (ace, btw. thx). google translate (yes, again), thinks the chol example is welsh. welsh dictionary tells me "from her lap", old english welsh thesaurus tells me chol comes from arab. "chalel", "to expect" (I expect it means expecting a child).

But there is zero reason for a foreign word to displace a basic word like "childbearing".
